Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...

It is just what I needed to read this evening. I was having a tough time feeling guilty about having said no to someone about something I did not want to do. So the timing of reading this was perfect.
Thank you!!
